TGIT! Well, for me at least. Today is my Friday and then I actually five days off work with absolutely no plans! Well, no solid plans. I might organize my closet and get it ready for all my new dresses. I'm not sure yet.

Anyway, I'm excited to share this trio with you! Rainbow Honey surprised me with this trio and I LOVE the colors that I was randomly sent. I have lots of pictures and a review so keep on reading!

I'm a bit late, but didn't want to miss out on sharing this with you! This week's Beauty Buffs theme is nautical. I actually think this was my idea, but I could be mistaken. I had so many ideas run through my mind until I finally decided on this one. I'm not sure what possessed me to try to freehand an anchor. I won't be doing that one again! ha! Check out all the details under the cut...

This summer sure is flying by, isn't it? I had to use the weather as some nail art inspiration today. While I was trimming the giant shrub in front of my house, I saw tons of bugs. I really hate bugs. Actually, I hate being outside. I'm more of a homebody, but that doesn't mean I can't find nature to be cute. ha! I decided to take on some ladybug nail art with the Milani Color Statement collection You can find my other posts here.

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll remember seeing the giant box of polishes I recently received from Milani. I was so pumped to find it on my doorstep! The Color Statement is a new core line from Milani. Over the next few weeks, I'll be featuring them in nail art looks! "This is your time to shine, with nails that drop-dead dazzle. Our new lacquer – the richest, most color-saturated formula in our lineup - delivers on a long list of patent-pending promises: Exceptional gloss that actually lasts. Detergent and Chip-resistance. Maximum nail protection."

How did I miss out on sharing my last few Ipsy bags with all of you? Beats me. I'm actually excited to show off this one! For the last few months, I haven't really been thrilled with what I've gotten. This month is different. For $10, I'm pretty impressed.

Today's post a is blast from the past! Grab your acid wash jeans and hold on to your scrunchies because this collection is going to knock your socks off! (Was that too much? Oh, well!) As much as I hate to admit my age and my fleeting youth, I'm an 80s baby. Late 80s, but 80s nonetheless.

80s to the Max is a super fun collection of a glitter topper, a thermal, a glittery creme, and three glitter crellies. Rica has outdone herself again! Don't miss this one...

Hey, babes! I'm a little late with my Beauty Buffs post, but it's better than never, right? This week's theme is floral. Floral can be dainty and shabby chic or bold and gaudy or anything in between. It's what you make of it!

For details on this look and a link up for all the other Beauty Buffs, keep on reading...

I'm so glad that I finally have time to post this polish! I actually started singing "My Favorite Things" while I was putting it on. I love purple. I love holo. I love rainbow glitters. How could this be bad? It can't be! Duh.

Whew. What a week it's been! Working all day pretty much every day has been exhausting. By the time I get home every night, it's hard to muster the will to do anything. I can't lie. My poor nails have been neglected. Thankfully, I had a bit of time last week to take this new baby for a spin!

Rica has a new edition to her line. Enchanted Minnie is lovely pastel mix with mouse ears. Check out lots of pictures after the jump!

Happy Thursday! Today's post is inspired by a dress I found while browsing one of my favorite online retailers. It's no secret that I'm fat. (Oh, no! She called herself the f word!) I'm not ashamed by my size at all, but finding clothes that I actually like can be a bit of a challenge. ModCloth definitely gives me options that I love. While I was browsing through the dresses, the one that inspired this look really jumped out at me!

For the inspo, the details, and how you can save $20 on your first ModCloth purchase, get out the rest of the post under the cut!

Hey, babes! I'm back in action after a mini getaway for the holiday. I had a great time hanging with my dude and our Cleveland gang, but it's time to get back to the daily grind. Work is a real bummer after a few days off. I'm sure many of you can relate.

I couldn't wait to get this on my nails when I got home! Rainbow Reef is a lovely mix of pastel glitters with holo dolphins. Plus, it comes with an extra special glitter mix that I've never seen before. Don't miss out on this one! Check all the details under the cut...

I'm so happy that I get to share this wonderful Lynnderella polish with all of you! Puppy Love is a limited edition polish and proceeds from this version will benefit SNORT, an all-volunteer non-profit based in the Northeast. SNORT’s purpose is to rescue brachycephalic dogs (mostly French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, English Bulldogs and Pugs) from shelters and owners who can no longer keep them, and place them into loving homes.

You all know how much I love my little dude, Winslow the pug, and I couldn't leave him out of this post!

Happy Independence Day! Well, almost! I wanted to share this with you a day early just in case I might inspire someone to duplicate this look. Plus, I'll be out of town this weekend and didn't want to miss out on sharing this look.

I'm really looking forward to a weekend away from home. You all have no idea how badly I need a getaway. Fireworks, sunshine, friends, and BBQ. Could it get any better? Nope!

The Beauty Buffs strike again! If it weren't obvious enough, this week's inspiration is polka dots. I've always loved polka dots. I actually did this look last week without even thinking of my Beauty Buffs post for this week. Since I loved this so much, I decided to save it until today! That little black nail sticker might look a bit familiar, too. Check out all the deets plus posts from the other BBs under the cut!

Today's post is a real doozy! When I got home from work last night, I found a package waiting for me. That Julie from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer can be a sneaky one! I opened it up to find eight beautiful new babies that were just crying for me to pick them up. I couldn't get them on my nails fast enough!

Far From the Sun is the newest collection from BEGL and it's perfect for summer. I love every single one of these. Every single one. You don't want to miss a single picture in this post!
